Kovácsszénája  

The village lays in a wonderful, unique valley thanks to the common beauty of the fishing lake and the picturesque hills of the Mecsek.
Those who live here can experience the beauty of the area on each day of the year, as the flora and the fauna reveal a small miracle every day.

The locals are highly hospitable and are very proud of their tiny village.
Their everyday is filled with farming and putting their yards straight.
The number of stock-farmers has greatly decreased in the village; they would like to change that with municipality support and with different ideas!

The village leaders hope that their village will be able to get close to the self-sustaining state within a few years and will be also able to supply the town’s people with their husbandry products, so that they can also buy the healthy food, vegetables and meat, that are natural for the village people.
